[A]
[C#]
[D] If I [C#] could save time [C] in a bottle
[G]
[E] The first thing that [A] I'd like to do
[Gm]
[D] Is to save [F] every day [E] till eternity passes [Dm] away
[Gm] Just to spend them [B] with [A] you
[Dm] If I could make days [C] last forever
[G]
[A#] If words could make [A] wishes come [D] true
I'd save [G] every [Dm] day [Gm] like a treasure
And then, [Dm] again, [Gm] I would spend them [A] with [B] you
[A]
[D] But there never [F#m] seems to be enough [Bm] time
To do the things [D] you'd want to do [G] once you find [D] them

[Gm] Except for the memory [Dm] of how
They [Gm] were answered [A] by you
[D] But there never [C#] seems to be enough [Bm] time
To do the things [D] you'd want to do [G] once you find [D] them
